Tell me about it......it laughable to still hear Saints fans say wello is better than radlinski when he consistently embaresses himself every week with schoolboy errors!

| We can't blame potter for tonight. He put out a team that most saints fans would more or less picked the same.
Don't forget it's not potter that won't recruit players, it's saints board that fail to sign players for last 2 years for what ever reason.
Everyone knows the squad has no real depth.
It's ok asking 1 or 2 kids to step in and do a job but when we got to play 4 or 5 together we struggle no matter how good these kids are.
IMO are performances this year a below what we are used to and are home games are now so boring to watch.
I think we are now paying price for letting players go and not replacing them.

I think we can blame him for not picking a goal kicker, since apparently we had two available (Lomax and Ellis). So we can blame him for that. He should have ensured we were covered in that department. Our lack of goalkicker lost us the match. Needlessly, probably.

Maybe he thought we had enough young lads on pitch to risk ellis or lomax at scrumhalf.
Let's be honest. We needed a goal kicker for last 2yrs as long can't kick anymore and doesn't want to kick.

You got it 100% right on your first post. I just knew before KO that it would a) be a close game and b) kicks might decide it.
If an idiot like me can see it why cant potter?
As they say; its not rocket science.
If your team score 5 tries to four (including 2 very dubious ones for Wakey) and you have the bulk of the territory fewer penalties against you, an equivalent completion rate, more clean breaks, fewer errors etc etc then you should win.
Thought Wello had a mare but kicking duties could not have helped him, but the knock on's were embarassing.
Also thought Gilly showed a reluctance to invole himself fully; can't say I blame him in the way he has been treated.

| Serious question(not trolling)- How's Potter gone at Saints overall so far?
From the outside he seems to have done ok but looks to have the mis-fortune of being the coach thats having to deal with the old guard moving on(or getting ready to). That'll take time to get right and maybe we'll continue to see abit of inconsistancy from St Helens for a while.
Injuries don't seem to have done him any favours so far but i'd still back him to be sitting on a treble at the end of the season.

Quite clearly not a racist....but Eastmond and the Jackson 5 do all look alike, just like Leon pryce looks like this YET is quite clearly not WHITE.............
just because a black person bears a resemblence with other black people does not mean that there is anything inherently racisit in making this observation....in fact I would suggest that the suggestion 'are you saying all black people look the same' is indefinately more racist than me comparing eastmond to one of the jackson five!!

I'd say it's more down to the salary cap. The cap is preventing us holding onto some players who can get better deals elsewhere e.g. Gilmour and Long. The cap was introduced to assist with promoting good financial management at clubs and to prevent a team from dominating the market for players by gobbling them up with their superior financial resources. With the cap the ownership of players (I mean contracts not slavery) means that Huddersfield might want to pay more than we're prepared to pay because of other commitments we have to consider in the face of the cap i.e. holding onto our youngsters.
I think I must be alone with Jack Dearden and Trevor Hunt in loving the unpredicatability of this season. Wakefield winning at Saints. Salford winning at Leeds. Clubs like Huddersfield and Castleford getting two points at Bradford more frequently than they have done in a long is a great indicator of the increased competitiveness of this competition. What we should have is a situation at the start of the season where every team believes they have a genuine shot at a trophy. We're not quite there but we're making progress e.g. look at the table and where Huddersfield, Rovers and the Bulls are. It's incredible stuff and this year's Challenge Cup semi-finals present arguably the most interesting semi-final line-up in years. I believe, as I imagine most fans do, that each of the teams left in the competition has a genuine chance of winning the trophy. Saints might be favourites but it's far from the far gone conclusion that Challenge Cup semi-finals had become.

| We must be paying these kids a good wedge if we on the brink of the SC.
Scully, talau, fozzard, bennet, long, cayless, gilmour and prob few others have left the club or will have next year.
That is some serious dough off the wage bill.
We have only brought 1 player in over last 2 years and 1 coming in next year.
I'd understand if sir mac came out and told us we are in the credit crunch so cutting back which most would understand.

Personally I think when KC comes off the cap we will be signing a few more players as he must be the top earner now since Scully retired and imo rightly so!

I think scully would he have been highest earner at saints with KC and longy not to far behind.
I also think JC would be very well paid but from what I hear we not signing anyone else.

We have 2 sign another big prop at least. We cant afford to go in with Graham, Hargreaves, Fa'asavalu, Puletua and Frodsham. If one of them get bust for the season for example Graham we will be up creek without doubt.

Id say we need 2 props.
We don't pay tony p at prop and bryn just ain't good enough.
Frodsham still few years off yet so we only got graham and maurie who worth talking about.

I wasn't blaming him for his kicks; he's not a good kicker. I was blaming Potter for not having a half decent kicker in his 17.
To lose by 2 points and to miss 6 kicks out of 6 is a disgrace. Potter sort of avoided this in his sky interview.
